Richard Sharp has resigned as chairman of the BBC in the wake of a report into his appointment following a cronyism row.
The matter has been a"distraction" for the BBC, and he has therefore this morning resigned as the BBC chair.
He also told the PM, before any interviews took place, that he was going to meet with Cabinet Secretary Simon Case to attempt an introduction for Mr Johnson with someone who had made a"suggestion" that"he might assist the former prime minister with his personal finances".
